'''''6'.2"''''' (6 feet, 2 inches) is a 2005 Indian [[Tamil language]] [[thriller film]] directed by V. Senthil Kumar. The film stars [[Sathyaraj]], newcomer [[Sunitha Varma]] and [[Vadivelu]], whilst music for the film was composed by [[D. Imman]]. The film was released on 12 May 2005.

== Plot ==
James ([[Sathyaraj]]), a middle-aged man working at a US-based call centre company's night shift in Chennai. One day, on his way back from night shift, James witnesses a murder in the local train. The victim is revealed to be a harbour union leader, Krishnamoorthy ([[Ajay Rathnam]]), leaving James as the only eyewitness. Inspector Soundarapandian ([[Raj Kapoor (Tamil film director)|Raj Kapoor]]) interrogates James about the murderer, and he promises the police to identify the murderer. An informer, Aishwarya ([[Sunitha Varma]]), is summoned by Inspector Soundarapandian to crack the case. Both Aishwarya and James are asked to stay at the neighbour's house of Krishnamoorthy's family as husband & wife, a drama set up by the inspector to nab the murderer. Soon, they became close with the family and their three daughters. Things get intriguing when it is shown that James himself is the murderer, and he kills Krishnamoorthy's father this time.

Parallel narration is the comedy track of White ([[Vadivelu]]), who is a friend of James.

Through the flashback, it was shown that James's real name is Balamurugan. Actually, it was Krishnarmoorthy's family that killed James's Parents several years ago. So, back in the present, James is on a killing spree to avenge this entire family. How James managed to pull this off and find his biological sister among the three girls forms the rest of the story.

== Reception ==
Malini Mannath of ''Chennai Online'' wrote "It has a knot which had the potential to be turned into an engaging suspense thriller, and it has a couple of twists and turns that take the audience by surprise. But if only the debutant director had taken more care on weaving his screenplay, and had a tighter grip on his narration! There are too many loose ends here and too many distractions. So the knot with potential goes unexplored and the only interesting bits are the couple of twists and surprises in the script, the rest a hotch-potch of situations".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Mannath |first=Malini |date=May 20, 2005 |title=6.2 |url=http://www.chennaionline.com/film/Moviereviews/2005/056.2.asp |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061006221410/http://www.chennaionline.com/film/Moviereviews/2005/056.2.asp |archive-date=6 October 2006 |access-date=14 March 2022 |website=Chennai Online}}</ref> Visual Dasan of ''[[Kalki (magazine)|Kalki]]'' praised the director for building the suspense, Sathyaraj's performance and Vadivelu's humour and concluded saying it was satisfying watching a detective movie after a long break.<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=தாசன் |first=விஷுவல் |date=12 June 2005 |title=6'2" |url=https://archive.org/details/kalki2005-06-12/page/72/mode/2up |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20230705150035/https://archive.org/details/kalki2005-06-12/page/72/mode/2up |archive-date=5 July 2023 |access-date=5 July 2023 |magazine=[[Kalki (magazine)|Kalki]] |page=73 |language=ta |via=[[Internet Archive]]}}</ref>
